We spent 5 very comfortable days here. The hosts are friendly and considerate and are very eager to ensure guests are happy. The farmhouse benefits from a number of small touches; a fridge, irresistible organic bathroom products, quality and variety of breakfasts, access to local literature including maps and an unbelievably comfortable bed. Being in the heart of Exmoor the farmhouse is very quiet and this is a good base for exploring beautiful countryside.

We enjoyed 2 nights at this bed and breakfast accommodation. Our room was booked on the internet and we opted for the cheaper room (about £70 per night). The room itself was clean and comfortable but we would suggest one or two extra facilities such as a wall mirror (there wasn't one in the room) , arm-chairs to relax in and maybe some pictures. We feel these additions would enhance the room. The bathroom which was the other side of the corridor was luxurious with lovely fittings and toiletries. On a future visit, we would probably opt for one of the other bedrooms if available as they were tastefully furnished with ensuites. The breakfast was very enjoyable . The hosts Rachel and Dan made us very welcome and nothing seemed too much trouble. The location was ideal for touring Exmoor and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this tranquil part of the country.

I booked a stay at Higher Riscombe after looking for a luxury B&B roughly on the way from Cornwall to Bristol and was really impressed with the look of the place and the way it was advertised on its excellent website. We are both relatively young and like modern, contemporary decor and this looked exactly that!

We booked the Beacon Dunkery room which overlooked the back garden for £80. After getting lost (our fault!!) we finally found the place and found our way down the rather pot holed driveway! First impressions was that it really is in the middle of nowhere! No reception on our mobiles was perfect though. Rachel (who had been very helpful prior to booking) welcommed us.

Our room was very tasteful indeed, and the bathroom was MASSIVE. After a freshen up, Rachel sorted us out a lift to the local Royal Oak in Withypool which was fantastic. The epitome of a local pub, with gorgeous food and great service. If we didn't feel we were in the Countryside already, we did after that! The very friendly barmaid even gave us a lift back to the B&B after our meal - awesome!

We enjoyed an amazing nights sleep in the massive bed, before some more brilliant food - a cooked breakfast! Sadly, we didn't even have time to explore the countryside as we had to get going and that was a huge regret as it is a truly beautiful area.

Nevertheless, awesome B&B that definately lives up to its luxurious tag. Perfect to get away from anything, and I bet the Royal Oak would be mighty cosy in the winter in front of the log fire.

Next time we stay we will definately stay for longer and explore more, especially the pubs nearer to the B&B which seemed perfect distance for a drink motivated work.

Stayed for just 1 night, shame it couldn't have been longer! Room was lovely, very high spec, best towels we've ever had in a B&B and we've stayed in quite a few!

Lovely breakfast (inc fresh strawberries!) and beautiful setting. Would highly recommend this one. Rachel said that they had only been running it as a B&B since last July, she's doing a really good job.
